[REL] FooBor's High-res skins (clean & weathered)

Doolittle81 · 11-16-07, 01:12 PM

Could someone please post a bit of Historical Explanation of the various paint schemes?
That is, were the boats painted Black during certain periods of the war, and clean at others? [for example, B17's in Europe were initially camoflagued, then later went basic clean metal...while B-29's were never camoflagued to the best of my knowledge...likewise P51's and P-51's, early camo and late clean].

Were the boats painted differently when operating in different fleets or bases....or did they start out "clean" non-black from the Factory and get repainted later...or vice-versa? Were they re-painted between patrols(unlikely, I think).

To be historically accurate, I'd like to use the "right" skin for the time/year of any patrol...but I have no idea which would be the correct skin.

Thanks in advance
